Port Townsend

Ward and I celebrated 16 years of marriage in Port Townsend during the long Thanksgiving weekend. We had a wonderful time. However, on Friday, I was still 'sick' from too much Thanksgiving fun and was horizontal most of the day and evening. I was soooo green and we even had to cancel our lovely fireside dinner reservations at the nicest restaurant in town; an unfortunate consequence for the previous day's activities! I was feeling better by Saturday, which enabled us to salvage two days of fun. We went to the local arts and crafts fair and did our best to stimulate the local economy. The pictures of the bowls are from a local food bank project where you paint a bowl, then later they fire it and then sell it at the next event. All proceeds go to the local food bank.

Ward reserved the penthouse suite of the Swan Hotel, which was absolutely amazing. it had a "crows nest" that opened up to the roof and you could see a 360 degree view of the sound and downtown. I uploaded a picture of the spiral-staircase crows nest access. We just love to hang out, relax, look at the water, shop, read and drink beer & wine. That's a perfect weekend for us!
